To make matters worse you need a VPN to spoof a Japanese IP.
Here's my problem:
Trying to record/download the live stream of a tv station who streams online.
The stream keeps dropping/stopping or just flat out doesn't work.
I can find the m3u8 and have tried ffmpeg, livestreamer, and VLC, but they all drop/stop.
I noticed in AdBlock a new .key file keeps adding on to the list frequently. I've no idea what it means or what to do with it.
Also, sometimes I'm unable to select the highest video quality to get the m3u8 url in AdBlock. Is there a trick to get the m3u8 outside of waiting for it to load in AdBlock.
The video stream is technically form http://mcas.jp/#/channels/1 but they don't always have programs running so I've been experimenting with http://mcas.jp/#/channels/3 which runs a feed 24/7.
For ffmpeg I've tried:
For livestreamer I've tried:Code:ffmpeg -i "http://movie.mcas.jp/hls/v1/wn1_2.m3u8?Expires=1456714860&Signature=Oyd5HwKV6fwrRgmzrq98q2dPLECPsRqJUAdiV9I26I3XqupL4kLxxzUHVw6N34nwn2an8GzKqXQANa5HTObR1LkhozU5vZNGKfM8NmQRGFb7WIBjgKbtnI0fXzRhMcFmUCODxsFfjovtTF5OEU9-NWIBG3OWYl4ycfXqJnQxfMNjtGzLZe7l9CZdC4Skhgf8n687PoeUTOEmEHlLFF4JyAlx3ss9aSivarflQwb4zL1elvsJeJ~nZP5Jr0WeV59W4N1Rl69QsbQL7-xbTGXiWBo3on497LBwE0tWhtvpZl5eAQbaDj1xDfb4I1AzGSchcPqm5zKu60foWwgjvfqPGA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJUJRXEO57LGPCIQA" -c copy -f mpegts filename.ts
With VLC I've been selecting Open Network Stream, pasting the m3u8 url, and selecting Convert to save the file. It keeps disconnecting or dropping and sometimes doesn't connect at all, just giving me errors. I can't get a solid video.HTML Code:livestreamer "hlsvariant://http://movie.mcas.jp/hls/v1/wn1_2.m3u8?Expires=1456714860&Signature=Oyd5HwKV6fwrRgmzrq98q2dPLECPsRqJUAdiV9I26I3XqupL4kLxxzUHVw6N34nwn2an8GzKqXQANa5HTObR1LkhozU5vZNGKfM8NmQRGFb7WIBjgKbtnI0fXzRhMcFmUCODxsFfjovtTF5OEU9-NWIBG3OWYl4ycfXqJnQxfMNjtGzLZe7l9CZdC4Skhgf8n687PoeUTOEmEHlLFF4JyAlx3ss9aSivarflQwb4zL1elvsJeJ~nZP5Jr0WeV59W4N1Rl69QsbQL7-xbTGXiWBo3on497LBwE0tWhtvpZl5eAQbaDj1xDfb4I1AzGSchcPqm5zKu60foWwgjvfqPGA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJUJRXEO57LGPCIQA" best -o filename.ts
I really want to record some programs for a friend in the best video quality (i.e. I don't want to resort to laggy screen records) and get a solid video.
Please help? Any advice or insight as to what's happening is appreciated.

EDIT: Never mind. Found out it was my connection causing the problems. Fixed.
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I'm having issues again with the same site and a slightly different problem. The previous fix doesn't work now...
When I use livestreamer with hls:// it tells me
